Hutchinson on Obama: Stop Him Before He Talks About Wright Again!

I’m surprised he did a press conference. Also, Obama said he couldn’t denounce Wright, just like he couldn’t denounce his grandma. Is she next?

Obama had his chance to denounce Wright in PA but failed to do so! Now what he is doing is political damage control rather than moral conviction,and this makes Obama look like any other politician who will do anything to get elected. The problem is that the american people are now getting a sense of who the real Obama is and they are not liking it and this is what is making superdelegates waver and this is why he should not be the nominee,because in the end he does not have the support of the working class and if Democrats don’t have that then they will lose in the GE and thats why Hillary did not and should not quit this race. She is the only Democrat left that can beat McCain this fall and people are coming around to that fact!
Rise Hillary Rise!!!

I disagree
Obama denouncement of his pastor is long overdue
Sean Hannity and conservative pundits can no longer fault Obama for not “denouncing” him
Now that its said and done, Obama should dismiss the subject and move to the issues
When Joe Scarborough defends Obama and says this story is dead
A new day has come

barrysherrie, i’m with you. no matter who the repubs would run this year, i’d vote repub over obama. and my family and i have been straight dems for generations. obama doesn’t belong in the senate, much less the white house.
if obama were applying for a generic government job, with his ties to ayers/dohrn, auchi, etc., he wouldn’t be able to pass the background check. but somehow he’s ok as commander in chief? i don’t think so!
and that’s before we even get into his 20 year relationship with wright – now he denounces the guy and we’re supposed to just say, ok, well, that’s that. not happening!!!
we can only hope the voters in north carolina and indiana and oregon and all the remaining states give hillary huge wins so the superdelegates will finally see what the rest of america already knows. hillary can beat mccain and would be a good president. obama can’t beat mccain and would be a terrible president if he did.

compassion my foot. we are not voting for kumbaya king; we are voting for president during a time of war and recession.
his associations are shady:rezko, wright, ayers, his wife…
he frightens middle america
obama is not ready for prime time
and mark my word–if he is nominated, he will win 10 states and lose 40 and we, democrats, will have to suffer thru four more years of do nothing government
thanks alot obama and his cult of personality

It is all fine and good, but it has been the press that keeps it alive. He has to respond and you know it. So why this post?
There is not a single statement that Obama could make that would please all the people. Not one!
Hillary is in the same boat. So is ABC, NBC, CBS, AP, UPI, Newsweek, Time, and lets not forget Hutchinson

Sen Obama has used Rev Wrigth. And now he is throwing him under the bus. Is it not that give-and-take is biblical?

Okay everyone “the Obama” has decread that this issue is dead, stop gawking and go back to your homes and sit quietly until he is sworn in as president. Oh wait a minute I think the “Good Rev.” may want to add something to this……

The bottom line is Obama is going to be the nominee and he’s going to be President.
Unless the man really screws up…(he himself screws up)
Today was just another example of the the next President of the US.
C’mon …you compare how he was today to Hillary or McCain…there’s no question this guy is the next generation of America and he needs to take over…since this last generation kind of has screwed us all up.
There is no other candidate that can get us to lead by light…the rest of the world.
No other candidate brings it all back that we are the Great Experiment…working.
They may have years but the bottom line is he has the best intellect with the best reasoning with the least amount of taint…or the least amount of stuck in their own defense.
McCain loses on the intellect in the economy and our best forward motion for our military…(yes mcCain will lose in the general on this when the dots are connected between Afghanistan, crunbling military forces, not getting OBL, no focus on southeast asia or the fall out from this famine we are seeing on the rise and it’s increasing influence on terrorism, and the lack of finance to fight a longer war on the backs of a crumbling economy).
The war ends up a loser for him as the economy goes down to and our vets medical bills and a government that slowly more and more can’t care for them.
Hillary is just the last page of a chapter that was better than the one before but slowly revealed it wasn’t all it portrayed itself as. She will be a hold out of a closing book, the last page character left on a very bad chapter of America’s 20th century.
All your screaming and degredation of Obama at this point is not going to stop the inevitable Obama is the next President of the US of A.
and the night of the election the world will rejoice in supporting the statue of liberty again.

The true irony here is that the very church Obama joined for no other reason than to advance his political career is ultimately proving to be his political destruction.
As far those of you who feel that Obama’s much belated denunciation of Wright is sufficient, I am reminded of a comment Churchill once made about the US: “When all is said and done Obama can be counted on doing the right thing, after having first exhausted every available alternative.”

I saw almost all of
Obama’s press conference
today. He was terrible
and I am being charitable.
He was hesitant, stumbled,
was unsure of his
answers. He kept looking
around. He reminded me
of a young boy doing
something he should not
be doing and wondering
when was going to be
caught.

Vanessa… Can we count on your vote for Hillary in November, come on its okay I know you won’t vote for McCain.

Vanessa: Hillary supporters are all pumped up and we can’t wait till next Tuesday when Hillary will win in IN and come closer than expected in NC thanks to the Gov. By the time all is said and done Hillary will have the most popular vote and won the states that Democrats have to win and thats what will allow superdelegates to vote for her over Obama! You see in the end Democrats want to win and they know Hillary is a fighter who can take on McCain and the Republican attack machine! Hillary supporters are more encouraged than ever that she has a path to the nomination and will be the first woman POTUS!
Rise Hillary Rise!!!!

I don’t feel sorry for Obama…But strangely I feel sorry for Rev Wright.
I actually feel Obama has betrayed his longtime pastor. And I think it tells volumes about Obama’s character.
On the day Obama was announcing his run for president he took Wright off the agenda (Wright was going to speak)then asked Wright to wait in the basement out of public. That had to hurt.
Then over and over he has to hear Obama say he’s like a crazy uncle that says stupid, deplorable things.
All the while Obama is basking in glory and adoration…with Wright looking like the bad guy.
How much could Wright take without defending himself? Obama did this to himself by thinking all of America was so stupid to believe he never knew what was going on in that church.

Hutchinson makes good points. Rev. Wright said nothing that we hadn’t already heard before. When Wright made those statements earlier, Obama said he couldn’t denounce Wright no more than he could denounce his grandmother. Today, that changed. I don’t see how this helps Obama. He looks like he’s flip-flopping.

Hillary may have the Gov, but Obama has the mayor (how Hillary won PA), the Senators and the backings of all of John Edwards supporters in NC
She will lose by double digits
Make you prediction on IN
but if she doesn’t win IN after the bad media coverage for the Obama campiagn
The headlines the following day won’t only be “Hillary loses IN”
The headlines will be “How could she have lost IN?”
SDs, pundits, and voters will question Hillarys fight and support

How can this either be a) A “right wing” conspiracy, or b) an insignificant issue. The facts stand (undenied by Obama or anyone else) that wright was a close friend and advisor for 2 decades. Wright has not changed at all over those 20 years . This tells us a tremendous amount about the “real Obama”– much more than silly pre-canned speeches. The Obama crowd knows this, but thinking about it makes them have to confront their own shallow banality about supporting a guy like this in the first place

It is a dilemma for Obama…
He will be blamed if he just sits without doing anything…
He will be questioned about his sincerity when he stood up to dennounce his “uncle” and may have offended his black brothers who supported Rev Wright….
Poor guy…

If ever there was a man who is sincere it is Barack Obama.His genuinely reflective eyes and his staight and honest look today and the hurt said it all.Give the man a break.In all the 20 years that he listened to Wright in his church or in a personal sense Reverend Wright always praised our great country and our leaders. Obama never heard the Rev say a single racist divisive or unpatriotic thing.Whenever the Rev went overboard neither Barack or Michelle were ever in the audience.If Barack or Michelle ever knew the true Wright, they would never have been married by him or have their children baptized by him nor be blessed by him before running to be president or have him as the campaigns spiritual mentor. They never knew the racist Wright.Barack Obama is the most sincere and truthful person I have known in my life.Barack showed great courage today and America found religion in the greatest leader ever to be found in the world.Raise all you Americans and kneel before the new Messiah, Barack Obama. Lets all pray for him, and hope the rest of the world find religion like us Americans.

Obama did the right thing. He denounced Rev. Wright because that man was deliberatly trying to ruin his campaign. Rev Wright is for himself and nobody else. For those who think Obama’s nomination is ruined because of this, you have no clue. Those of us who support Obama love him to death because this is the first time in a long time that the country has had such a genuine politician. We will stick with him come rain or shine.

you got that right Texas Lil, I live in Harlem in New York and she nor Bill are absolutely not welcomed here. Time to look for another job. I’ll tell you another thing, if all the people in Europe could vote, Obama would in other countries absolutely LOVE Obama. You can’t take that away from him. If there will ever be world peace for this country he is definitely your man! I know because I work in a busy tourist area.

Obama’s finished! Please vote for Hillary and help her win the nomination. she’ll win the general election and bring the nation back! Obama needs to be held accountable to be associated with Rev. Wright for 20 years. In fact, before he announced his campaign, he sat secretly with Rev. Wright to pray! He hid this truth from everyone! This shows his poor judgment. We can’t elect this man for president. He’ll lead the nation to nowhere! He also has a lot of other problems………. Democrats, please wake up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You’ll lose the race if Obama’s elected.

Obama is like a pitcher who has been brought up from the minor’s to soon he can’t take the heat or bring the heat and lying about your preacher who comes from a priviledge background also I think this afternoon was all show to get it out of the way before the GE planned by Wright and Axelrod he is hiding many lies.

Obama, please go home. You have lost ALL credibility. Bow out and give the Democrats a chance in November.
I am glad Michelle finally gave him permission to throw Rev. Wrong under the bus, however….it is pretty crowded down there with Grandma and all those other “typical, white people”, all those “who cling to guns and religion”. Gosh, who’s next??? Maybe if they played Michelle stating that she is finally proud of her country he will throw her under there, too!

Hutchinson is right. I always enjoy reading his blog, BUT
The more Mr. Hope talks about the Rev., the longer he stays in the news. I say keep talking! I’m just waiting for Rev. Wright to respond. Anyone want to bet the MSM will IGNORE the Rev.’s response? They all think it’s time to move on. Tweety and Mrs. Greenspan have decided that for us. Nice, eh? I don’t agree. Keep talking! Both of you!

as I said on here three months ago, Obama better drop out now before he ruins his career

jgaw writes:
“I wish obama would agree to debate sen. clinton”
I wonder if Obama’s refusal to debate is the reason Reverend Wright spoke out?

Hilary wept when she got emotional. the man stumbling is evidence that he is personally very hurt and feels betrayed. I think this need to be addressed. He is human.

I would NEVER vote for HRC – McCain or anybody before Hillary – what kind of nation are we to look the other way when our President cheats repeatedly on his wife, is involved in multiple scandals, and both are chronic liars – I agree the Obama may not be the man but have some respect and self-pride. NO CLINTONS!!! They are bad for America and an embarassment to the world!!!

besides having hardly any experience to run for president, and absolutely ZERO foreign policy experience, lying and promising Illinois if you elect me to the US Senate I promise you I won’t use you to run for president, the lying Chigago ganstra ALREADY HAS A LOT OF SKELETONS IN HIS CLOSET. Rezko, his church, a lot of stuff people, let’s investigate this fraud before it’s too late!

What does Hillary Clinton have to do with Obama and his spiritual mentor or 20 years?

Wonder how long its going to be before Rev Wright answers, Wright sure does not look like a man that will take this and say nothing, I don’t believe he is going to take this throwing of him under a bus by Obama and not respond.
I also feel a lot of black pastors that supported Wright is also going to respond because Obama sure made a lot of them look rather foolish.

I don’t think God likes this “Gullt by Association rap”. It was the same one pulled on Christ that caused him to be judged and crucified as a common thief!

It is time for B.O. to step aside for the good of this country!

Why are there so many hypocrites in this country??? Everyone has been so determined to FIND “dirty” on Obama that they have resorted to guilt by association.
With that being said, I guest we will be STUCK with Bush remaining in office because McCain and Hillary have TONS and TONS of SHADY CHARACTERS in their past and present.
Heaven help us ALL if these jacked up double standards becomes the “norm”. I don’t think any HONEST American would like it if everything said and done by every person you’ve know was used to discredit you….Can we say “six degrees of separation”?
This is nothing more than new fill and an attempt to keep our focus off of the REAL ISSUES. I could care less about Clinton’s, McCain’s or Obama’s religion as long as he/she does what Bush has FAILED to do an allow religion to creep into government.

Wonder what church will be like on Sunday?

We will see now the cracks in the Obamania movement..Obama is in a CATCH 22..If he demonized and leaves his church, he will alienate many in the Black community and he will be a man without a FAITH..FAITH is a cornerstone in his run for the Democratic nomination..If he doesn’t repudiate Wright as a man and he doesn’t leave his church then he will alienate millions of Whites and Hispanics..either way he is not electable in November.

There is nothing ABC news can do to stop Sen. Clinton from becoming President. About three years ago a well known televangelist, Perry Stone Jr., told his congregation that God spoke to him and said Sen. Clinton will be the next President. This information can be obtained from one of his published works on CD entitled “Strange Patterns of Recent American Presidents.” On track 7 of this CD, he tells us that Sen. Clinton will once again be in the White House. So give it up ABC News. And Barack, your days are numbered.

lol, the only reason Obama talks about Wright ever is because of the MSM he’d have never even brought him up in the first place if not for you guys

The appearance may be that he is back peddling, but the reality is that he is not. I realize that people who needed an excuse not to vote for him, will decide not to do so. But those who are voting for him are doing so because they get it. This campaign is not and never has been about Rev. Wright. Just because the media has made it about that doesn’t mean the voters have to make it about that. Obama was in a tough place. Rev. Wright said some horrible things that Obama denounced from the beginning and has continued to denounce. It was enough for his supporters, but not for the media. They have followed Rev. Wright around to every speaking engagement and hung on his every word. So Obama has to respond. He can’t allow the media to keep putting all of these ridiculous comments out there from Rev. Wright and Obama not respond. Let’s be real. The media doesn’t care about Rev. Wright. They are trying to use him to hurt Obama. So, while I wish he didn’t have to talk about it, the reality is that he does. Because as with John Kerry and the Swift Boat ads, you can’t ignore these things no matter how ridiculous they may seem. Obama did the right thing by denouncing the words but not the person. He’s doing the right thing now by denouncing the person as well. What’s the difference you ask? In the beginning, there were a few sound bites from old sermons that in no way represented the man as a whole. Obama made it clear that Rev. Wright spoke for Rev. Wright and not Obama. Recently, Rev. Wright has begun making statements about Obama speaking as a “politician”. That implies that Obama is only saying things to get votes. I do not believe this and I think it was important for Obama to say Rev. Wright has gone too far in trying to speak for him. And if Rev. Wright can say that, perhaps he doesn’t know Rev. Wright as well as he thought he did. Think of this like any good relationship gone sour. You want to believe in the person until they do things that force you to realize that you no longer can.

“I can no more disown him than I could disown the black community. I can no more disown him than I could my “white” grandmother.”
One thing Rev. Wright was “right” on, is that Barack Obama is just a politican.

So Obama slammed Wright to appease the MSM, well if he did he is a bigger idiot than I thought.
He just gave the MSM more food because it wont be long before some pastor or someone comes out and and cries shame on Obama for what he did.
So exactly how is this going to stop anything Wright an all may answer Obama then what??
Nope if this is a game by Obama it was not for the media it was to obtain white votes and nothing more.

@axt113: If Obama felt Wright insulted him geez this man is his pastor for 20 years you don’t call a media conference and insult your pastor back in return do you?
All he had to do was call Wright and talk to him in private, not shove it down his throat for the entire world to speak about it, what kind of loyalty is that to a man that he once spoke so highly about?

Nice reporting, Tapper. “Tough stuff. Whaddaya think?”. Thanks for the analysis. You’re my jouralistic hero.

@SJ,
Sorry man, but when someone who you considered a friend and protected attacks you, you attack back

Frankly, I am tired hearing people demonize Mr. Obama. His strength and ability to lead our nation he’s already shown by motivating and inspiring “politician-non-believers” such as myself to register and vote for the first time. With the help of the media, America is going to make the biggest mistake by not listening to what he stands for and voting Hillary or worse yet mcbush into the white house. I was initially going to vote for Clinton but after seeing how far she will go to “win” and reclaim the white house resorting to negativity I quickly did my own research on Mr. Obama. I do not fault him for what his former pastor stands for nor believes in as Mr. Obama clearly is his own person. I can’t believe how people are accusing him of playing the race card when he’s not black enough to claim black and not white enough to be called white. He lost the debate in Pennsylvania because he chose to refrain from acting like Hillary who will stop at nothing to be president. Her negative strategy is what is dividing the nation!!!! why is she forgiven for her lies about being under attack in Bosnia–words that came out of her mouth over and over– and Mr. Obama is being crucified for words that came out of another person’s mouth or deeds done by another person(ayers) when he was only 8 years of age!!! This is ridiculous people!!! Everybody keeps saying how Obama is not experienced enough but neither was president lincoln and he lead our country just fine. Mr. Obama embodies the leader we so desperately need. the guilty by association bs is just that nothing but BS. Those of you who claim to be religious how many of you really follow your religious beliefs and or teachings??????? it’s time we come together as a nation if we really want to start seeing a positive change. Lets stop feeding into the negative media and attempts of Mrs. Clinton to divide the minorites/whites/poor/rich. Mr. obama has integrity and a dream and his politics is not tainted. hillary on the other hand has Bill and knows exactly what to say and how to sway her non believers to believe what she says she stands for just as Mr. clinton made us believe that he did not inhale nor have any sexual relations with lewinsky.. sometimes people having experience is not always an advantage….

Nah: copy copycat Andrew Malcolm’s piece is a re-casting of Errol Lewis’ “Colossal disaster or press trick?” in this morning’s NY Daily News.
Both of these guys essentially accuse Barbara Reynolds, the black female minister (and Howard University Divinity professor) who organized the Press Club event, of witchcraft — of causing Wright’s remarks by “chatting” with him before the event.
Just continuing the anti-woman cast of the Obama campaign.

Obama lied during the press conference. He specifically said that Wright had not been his “spiritual advisor”. I remember distinctly that he said on an earlier occasion that he was.

No, Megan – Us Hillary Supporters won’t bother you with the things Hillary has supposedly done, especially now, in your time of grief. We think you all have enough on your minds just dealing with this Wright mess and how in the
h e l l you can spin this into something positive for Chicken Obama Little. Good Luck. ROFLMAO!
A Proud, Black, Hillary Supporter
Rise, Hillary, Rise!’08

@s. valenti,
No it was Wright who said he wasn’t Obama’s spiritual mentor, so Obama said he’s right he wasn’t my spirtual mentor, that’s kind of saying it in a sarcasitic/ironic way, basically he was saying, you don’t want to be my spiritual mentor than fine you aren’t

I just watched obama denounce wright
I would have been more convienced if I could have heard the conviction and passion of all the other things he says.
He did not seem to have his heart in it at all. He may have been sad about it,
but to denounce this man-requires a little more fire.-I saw the lips say he denounced him-the voice sounded as if the heart was not in it.
I also heard on cnn of all places-a two of obama’ campaign workers said he seemed bored with the primary process.
today a young lady called me-a sen. clinton supporter an old geezer nerd
I think I will take that name.
I really want obama off this race stuff
and I am african american-I will not consider him presidential material based on how well he can speak on the subject of race in america
I want to hear he tell me more about his healthcare plan, affordable college etc.

@Rob,
No not a fraud, just a bit naive, he saw Wright as better than he actually is

Barbara Reynolds wrote an article where she said she was torn between Clinton and Obama. She would vote for either one, but voted for CLinton in the Maryland primary because she us qualified and Obama is not. She admits she wabts to vote for Obama because heis a black candidate, but also admitted the Clintons were good to black people. She was honest unlike the blacks who convinced themselves the Clintons are racist in order to justify voting on race alone.

Last week, all of Obama’s appologists were engaging in the talking point that said “If anyone would listen to Wright’s entire sermon, they would know it wasn’t racist”.
Where are those people hiding now?

to K: Stop drinking the kool aid..Hillary is very close in NC..within 4 points plus she has a double digit lead in Indiana and then KY, WV , Puerto Rico and BINGO.

obama said he only heard rev. wright preach some really good sermons.
and he never heard him preach what we are hearing now.
I have a question:
If obama has sat in the church for 20years, and he said he never heard rev. wright preach sermons such as we have heard-he only heard good sermons
where are the video of these good sermons? and why hasn’t tccc released any of these sermons to the media?
I keep hearing obama say he only heard wright preach good sermons-so where are they?

Let’s see:
Obama leads by so many pledged delegates it is impossible for HRC to catch up. He has to loose all remaining contests by 40 points for her to overtake him in pledged delegates. Her fuzzy math attempts to recalculate the popular vote won’t help.
More superdelegates have announced their support for Obama after her 9 point win in PA than for HRC.
Obama announced his plan for a 50 state investment in voter registration and joint fund raising with the DNC, aiding all Democrats running in November and leaving no state behind. HRC has not. She does not have the money or the support.
She only wants debates and because she can’t get her message out due to mismanagement of campaign funds and lack of support from grass roots voters. Shows her desperation.
Obama has the real forward thinking ideas. They have been up on his web site for months.
Who has the real momentum in this race?

I expect he IS. With the patronage of the odious John Kerry and coaching from Axelrod, Obama expected simply to ASSUME the nomination by knocking the other candidates off the ballot — just as Obama gained the Illinois state Senate seat and the U.S. Senate seat.

Rev. Wright will have no effect. Denouncing him was a good idea.

It’s 3 A.M. and I’m having nightmares about Bosnia. Where’s Bill? Why isn’t he in bed?

Antonn: I think you have your math wrong. Oregon has more delegates than Kentucky or West Virginia. Montana and South Dakota combined have more delegates than West Virginia, and are equal in amount to Kentucky. Once again the math is against Clinton. In fact, Obama can just win NC and OR and lose the other contests, and he will still be ahead of CLinton in delegates by nearly 100. Sorry…

Jack: Must have taken you all day to come up with that one.

Ron: Oregon will be contested..polls there are getting closer..People in Oregon will turn against Obama..Too many small towns with too many Whites..trust me this is no over…

“Belle Star: Is there a note of jealousy in your message?”
The birthday-suit message, you mean? Maybe: Obama was plopped into the U.S. Senate based on nothing — high salary, lifetime healthcare, etc. Most people, definitely including me, could use some of that.

Jeremiah Wright, HAMAS, the New Black Panthers Party, Bill Ayers, Louis Farrakhan, Bernadine Dohrn, Bill Maher, the Weather Underground, Michael Moore, etc. etc. etc.
Is there a hateful, anti-American individual or group that Obama is not aligned with yet?
Obama is the Trojan horse for hate. Nothing more.

Antonn: HAte to tell you this, but 70% of Oregon lives in either Portland or Eugene. Both of these cities are some of the most liberal in the country. When they go Dem. so does the res tof the state. They will never go for CLinton. Sorry… I reasearch my information well.

Nothing is a safe bet for Obama now…Indiana, North Carolina, Oregon…this is not over till Reverend Wright stops touring the country and he will never stop…

“America in 2008 is a downright mean country.”
The loud-mouthed malcontent Michelle Obama would make a wonderful first lady. My God.
Never was Michelle more eloquent than when she was complaining about her student loans from Princton and Harvard.

There’s no way this thing is over. Even if Wright keeps quiet and doesn’t answer Obama back, the press will follow him until he blurts something out. Then it will be news all over again. And if what he says at that point is inflammatory (as it well might be), it will headline the news. Anyone who thinks this is going away is as naive as Obama claims he’s been for the past 20 years.

You are absolutely right Jake.
Obama is so far out in left field it isnt even funny.
I would be EMBARRASED if he get the nomination. Can you imagine being white and being scared to walk down the street. It will come my friends if we let this guy in.
Every hard working white person like me should stand up for Hillary – we know she will stand up for everyone – not just radical blacks.
Also, – what did you people expect him to do when pushed – did you think he would say yeah I believe just like Wright – of course he cant he is running for public office. But we are smarter than that oh yes – he sat in those pews for 20 years. I am not fooled.

This is a stage fight between Obama and Reverend Wright, his beloved pastor and mentor, Wright attacks Obama then Obama attacks Wright..Obama is the victim of his renegade pastor..poor me..rescue me vote for me…Nothing has change between these two men..they are bound by friendship and their goal of bringing Black Liberation Theology to the White House.

N-O-B-A-M-A

i am absolutely stunned that some obama supporters actually believe that hillary had something to do with this disaster. next thing i expect to hear is that ‘little green men’ sent by hillary, dispatched a spaceship full of little green men who took over mr. wrights mind and made him read a speech written by hillary. it may come as a surprise to you, but some of us hillary supporters actually feel bad for mr obama-i know i do. i felt bad when he stuttered his way thru his speech. i find it absolutely ironic that obamas extreme left wing wackos were in total agreement with what mr. wright said just one day before. so how are they going to reconcile the fact that obama has publicly admonished his pastor, and denied sharing any of his ideology which ‘some’ on the left applauded as ‘telling it like it is about america’?

LLbara you are hysterical your take on the t-shirt slogan is great!

Oh really Belle Star, what do you know that the rest of us don’t. Are you privy to info, do tell please.

I just listened to BO’s press conference. He is so LAME! what a joke Obama and his candidacy is. Wright’s comments this weekend were pretty tame compared to his vile sermons we’ve seen on the internet. why the big change in Obama’s heart? oh yeah, his poll numbers are tanking!

I also sort of felt sorry for Obama at the press conference today. It did give a little insight though into how he would react to hard questions if elected. I just think he is way out of his league having never been properly vetted by the press before. At this point, I think he would have been better off to make a short,simple statement on Wright’s rantings yesterday rather that the forced ramblings from reporter questions which just opened up more questions. In hindsight, I bet he is wishing he had at least finished out his first Senate term before running for President. I am just surprised that his advisors seemed so unprepared for this whole Wright issue coming up, maybe because the press lured them into a false sense of security through the first part of his campaign.

Why? He stutters in one-on-one debates, too.

Looks like Hillary put her plump
arm into a pile of manure and came
out with a gold watch…..Boy, aren’t
these Clinton’s lucky?

The Obama campaign and his myriad of supporters fail to see that Obama’s campaign is mortally wounded. Obama fails to see how his membership in this church and his close relationship with the Rev. Wright deeply offended and hurt many Americans. How can Obama talk about change and bringing people together when he has immersed himself in this anger and hatred at white people, jews, Israel and the United States government for 20 years? What hurts and offends me as a woman, is that the pundits seem to only care that a black man get the nomination because of its significance. The media has thrown Hillary and women under the bus with Obama’s grandma.
GO HILLARY 08!

We need to give Obama a break. We have no idea what is really going on.

Yes, He Ran … from a debate.

What happens when the Reverend Wright decides to write a tell-all book about Obama and Michelle? What happens when Reverend Wright decides to talk about what Obama really thinks about Iran, Syria, Hamas, Israel, or Pakistan? The Reverend Wright said at the National Press Club he will be following Obama into the White House, whether Obama wants him there or not. And why was Al Sharpton on Larry King Live getting into this and speaking for Obama? This is getting all too crazy and there is a country that needs to be run. Obama does not have the backbone to stand up to Reverend Wright and company, how will Obama stand up to America’s enemies? Oh, yes, the liberal left believes that America has no enemies – WRIGHT?

Obama is what this country needs, not the has been Clintons that feel this presidency is owed to them

What do Hillary Clinton, George Bush and John McCain have in common?
This axis of irresponsibility are are peddling deceptive remedies to the Gas Price Problem.
Bush says stupid stuff that is demonstratively false about ANWAR saving the day. This ain’t the worst of it. It is bad enough that he can look at the camera with a straight face and play the anwar nonsense to the voters. The worst of it is that he expects the you are stupid enough to fall for it. Hardcore disrespect.
Enter Hillary Clinton and John McCain. Both Hillary and John take up the Bush Stupidity Challenge. They both expect alotta you to fall for it, too. These two are staying the course, I’d say.
But apparently the 3 Panderers are the Grownups. Bush is just their leader and friend …. and a loser that leads the way.

America has the attention span of a moth. LOok at the purty light. People were forgetting about Wright even while they were still thinking about him.
A candidate makes up a story about being under sniper fire and no one remembers it today.
People don’t take ministers seriously in this country. We’re not deeply religious. In fact, our whole country is founded on religious tolerance. Our first settlers were religious outcasts of England. Throw in some Quakers, Catholics, Calvinists, jesuits, Anabaptists, Lutherans etc. (as early as mid 1600s) and you’ve got people who learned not to care what their neighbor’s minister was saying.
Today is no different. Americans don’t care about what some minister says, even a would-be president’s. That’s why Wright didn’t hurt Obama before and won’t hurt him now. All the wacky ministers on the right, no one cares. Every year they come out and lament God punishing the U.S. and then support the Republicans — no one cares.
The only people who care about Wright are those with an agenda and those in the media. I talk to people in all walks of life – people don’t care. The polls have shown people don’t care.
Show me a Republican talking about Wright and I’ll show you someone who doesn’t want to talk about the president going down as the worst in U.S. history, who nearly doubled the national debt, sent 4000 blue-collar boys(and girls) off to die in the desert for WMDs that never existed, devalued the dollar, increased the trade deficit, watched 50million American men women and children go without medical care, passed a law making it harder for working folks to declare bankruptcy, ignored the intelligence warnings the month before 9/11, made it harder to unionize, changed regulations to make more people “managers” not subject to overtime pay, ruined our reputation in the world, let Bin Laden live the pastoral life in peace while we fought a non-enemy in Iraq, trampled the constitution with illegal invasion of the privacy of US citizens, instituted torture of fellow human beings, and generally waged a presidency of disinformation, deceit, arrogance, and dishonest.

Obama singled out several statements of Wright’s to condemn:
The AIDS thing, which he had to have heard before through the snippets – and there was no way to “take out of context”.
His praise of Farrakhan – who has not only endorsed Obama, but Obama returned the favor when he attended the Million Man March with Wright.
Wright’s equating U.S. war efforts with terrorism – which he couldn’t possibly have missed in Wright’s God d*mn America sermon, unless he was too irresponsible to listen to that sermon in full to know the facts behind the sound bites.
Obama knows very well who Wright is and where he stands on African American and world issues. He has called him his spiritual mentor and stated that he consults him before making major political moves.
Say what you will about Wright; he says what he means and stands behind his words. Obama is just another politician, and we now see without a doubt that he’ll say and do anything to get elected.
Don’t worry though; he and Wright will kiss and make up should Obama take the White House with Michelle as mediator. Then they can work together to advance their African American, African and anti-Israel agendas.

Hutchison got it right. 20 years he sat there and he’s lying if he says he didn’t know this man’s views. This was a transparent political move after a night of polling to see what people think. Several people from upcoming primaries report being polled the night before. Obama could have said the same things at his press conference the day before and didn’t – he waited till his internal polling was done and decided he had to do it or lose the election. So much for “new” politics – sounds like the same old politics from mister wet behind the ears – we don’t need another novice in the white house – we’ve had 7 years of that already and it’s been a disaster.

Who is Hutchinson and why are you quoting him? He thinks Obama was too emotional, Glen Reynolds said he was too reserved and “lawyerly” and all this only matters because it saves the press from having to learn economics.

One question for us to judge and to be judged:
Had Obama not ran for presidency, do you *honestly* think he would condemn Rev. Wright?

The Rev. Wright says Obama is a politician and he the Rev. is a Pastor. Could it be that Rev. Wright speaks what he believes and is therefore honest. He sees Obama’s denial of having heard these sermons before as dishonest and as a Pastor can not sit back and allow the lies to continue. Obama could not and would not disown Wright untill he heard Rev. Wright call Obama a politician, the thing Obama claims not to be. Obama did not disown Rev. Wright for saying that America manufactured AIDS to kill blacks or had 911 coming to them, Obama only disowned Wright when Wright called Obama a politician. Obama did not sit in the church for 20 years and bring his kids to the church unless he agreed with the principles in the Rev. Wright sermons. Obama lies while Rev. Wright appears to be honest.
I also will vote McCain if the DNC is fool enough to nominate Obama.
HILLARY 08

The people in Trinity are not going to be happy with Obama…wish someone had the guts to come forward and say”heck yes he knew about Wright’s sermons, he sat in the pews 20 years!”
Sadly I think they want a black president so badly they will sit on the truth. Where is their loyalty to Rev.Wright?

QUICK!… Someone give Oblahma a BIGGER PEDAL!! He is backpaddling so quick he just can’t get away quick enough! LOL!!
Oblahma, Time to get away???
How about ANOTHER VACATION with a ONE-WAY ticket that is…oh, and don’t forget Michelle “I hate America” Oblahma!!!!
